TUNDRA STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Delivering Highly Flexible and Effective Storage

With its innovative approach and groundbreaking compute

density, Tundra™ ES is radically improving how HPC and other
large scale systems are being built and deployed. But com-
pute is only part of the overall picture. Building highly effective
systems requires storage that’s equally as innovative. With its
family of unique building blocks, Tundra storage does just that,
delivering flexible storage that can address balance, flexibility,
usability, scalability and performance.

Balance – System architects need no longer be constrained by the limits of traditional monolithic storage
solutions that require oversized infrastructure. With Tundra’s unique capability to locate storage and compute
locally, we can design, build and deliver the right kind of storage for the problem in hand, optimized for performance
and reliability, exactly where it can best be used.

Flexibility – Tundra storage building blocks can leverage drives from 3.5” nearline to SSD/NVMe in units as small as
a single 1 OU node, increasing in capability through 2 OU nodes, 2 OU JBOD/RAID shelves through to large capacity
Fabric Attached Storage.

Usability – In conjunction with well known filesystem solutions such as Lustre, CEPH, NFS, GusterFS and others,
we can design systems that deliver a broad range of functionality, not just for traditional HPC, but also for end-user
applications such as Hadoop, OpenStack/Swift, etc.

Performance – Combined with Tundra’s Fabric Infrastructure, one can simply design storage solutions, for example
HPC Lustre filesystems, that deliver as little as 1 GB/s to more than 100GB/s of aggregate filesystem bandwidth,
in systems whose capacity can be designed to easily exceed 100’s of PetaBytes. In addition, Tundra’s ability to
co-locate compute and storage, allows for the construction of large scale Big Data style systems.

in a 1RU form factor.
Mellanox SB7700 and SB7790 36-port EDR 100Gb/s
InfiniBand switch systems deliver 7.2Tb/s of non-
blocking bandwidth with 90ns port-to-port latency,
providing up to 100Gb/s full bidirectional bandwidth
per port. These stand-alone switches are an ideal
choice for top-of-rack leaf connectivity or for build-
ing small to medium sized clusters.
Penguin Computing also provides solutions based
on Intel’s latest Omni-Path Architecture, enhancing
the performance and scalability required in Exascale
Computing.
Omni-Path Architecture helps to build a broad array
of solutions starting from entry-level HPC fabrics
to large clusters of 10,000 nodes or higher.
Benefits include:
Traffic flow optimization features reduce the vari-
ation in latency seen through the network by high-
priority traffic in the presence of lower priority traffic,
addressing a traditional weakness of both Ethernet
and InfiniBand in which a packet must be transmit-
ted to completion once the link starts even if higher
priority packets become available.
A message rate of 195M messages/sec per switch-
port with a port-to-port latency of 100-110ns.
Dynamic Lane Scaling helps save time and increase
productivity in the event of a failure on one or more of
the four lanes on a multi-link traffic flow.
Management Networks
Penguin Computing Arctica GigE Ethernet switch
lines enables small, midmarket and large enterpris-
es to leverage technologies that were developed by
the world’s largest cloud operators and hyperscale
data centers and provides solutions that improve
data center networking.
Arctica 4804ip is a low cost 1GbE switch for out-of-
band management. This switching platform provides
a very low price point, minimizing the capital and
operational expenditure for the rack management
function and this is accomplished by limiting the pur-
pose only to management traffic and limited Layer
3 functionality. Rack management can be performed
by any Linux server administrator without the need
for specialized network administration expertise or
experience.
Arctica 4804ip is designed for managing the entire
rack — servers, top of rack and management switches
— all of which may be automated and managed
using standard Linux tools such as Chef, Puppet or
CFEngine. Penguin Computing provides the option
of running either Arctica OS or Cumulus Rack Man-
agement Platform software, this switch is based on
an x86 Control Processor and Broadcom StrataXGS
Hurricane 2 Data Plane Processor.

Open Bridge Rack Design Features
ff EIA and OCP Compliant
ff Ability to respond to changing capacity demands
ff Rapid conversion
ff Rack and power separation
ff Three types of racks available
Product Description
Utilizing an innovative utilitarian approach, the Open Rack
is a breakthrough rack standard designed specifically as
a data center solution for OCP. The rack is designed to
maximize both efficiency and density for all of the user’s
equipment, ensuring that components achieve a maxi-
mum lifespan. Each rack is divided into 48mm (1.889”)
tall sections or zones, called an OpenU, providing better
thermal design. The outer chassis measures 24” while the
inner casing is 21” wide, allowing larger space efficien-
cy and utilization when compared to the current industry
standard 19” rack.
Penguin Computing® offers the Open Bridge rack with two
power zones as a solution for HPC power needs, providing
up to 31 KW total with N+3 redundancy. Additionally, single
(N+1 redundancy) and triple power zone options (with either
N+2 or N+3 redundancy) are available for flexible power
requirements including data center workloads and other
demanding environments.

Rack Level Integration:
Because Efficiency Adds Up
If your organization deploys servers on a very large scale in a
service-based infrastructure,your platform requirements are
different from typical medium- and small-scale deployments.
We know how to build highly efficient solutions that are specific
to your actual workload and datacenter environment. We also
offer highly energy-efficient solutions according to the Open
Compute specifications. Talk to us to find out how we can
design a highly efficient custom solution for your data center.
ff Efficiency is key – Even seemingly minor efficiency gains
can significantly improve your datacenter’s TCO, such as
the reduction of overall power consumption through a
consolidation of fans.
ff Servers can be ‘vanity free’ – Components that are taken
for granted in conventional environments, such as chassis
covers, can be eliminated to free up capital for more
compute or storage capacity.
ff One server is rarely a single point of failure – Typical
large scale applications offer resiliency and redundancy
features at the application level and your operation relies
much less on specific servers. Redundancy features such
as redundant power supplies can be eliminated saving
capital ex as well as operational expense.
Custom Solution Example
For a well known social networking and micro-blogging service,
Penguin Computing developed a green data center solution
that was radically optimized for overall efficiency, decreasing
the overall power consumption per rack by 23% compared to
a traditional rack of 1U rack-mounted systems. To maximize
compute density, flexibility, Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)
and manageability the system features:
ff Central power – 6 central, hot-pluggable, platinum power-
supply units connected to a 3-phase AC power source for
balanced power consumption; 12V DC power delivery to
each server through a central power bus bar
ff Central Cooling – Cooling through N+1 redundant,
hot-pluggable fans enclosed in fan modules. Compared
to a traditional rack configuration this custom configuration
populated with 42 full-width servers only requires 18 fans,
compared to 210 for a traditional server solution, resulting
in power savings of 75% for cooling per server compared
to a traditional rack of 1U rack-mounted systems.
ff Rack-integrated UPS – Built-in central UPS module(s) in
a space-saving 1U form factor
ff Cables access from front of rack – All server maintenance
tasks can be performed from the ‘cold aisle’ front of the
system
ff Flexible configuration options – The rack can be configured
to different requirements. A variety of full- and half-width
options for server as well as storage nodes with a storage
density of up to 12 drives per 1U are available.

 PENGUIN’S CLOUD COMPUTING
MODELS AND TYPES

Penguin Computing® On-Demand™ (POD™),

Public Cloud Resource

A True HPC Cloud

Penguin’s Public HPC Cloud, allows organizations to utilize a high-performance, bare-metal, HPC computing
environment in the cloud without having to invest in on-premise infrastructure. Nor do you have to deal
with multi-tenant cloud environments and the performance, scalability and security challenges associated
with shared infrastructure.

Computational jobs are easy to submit and monitor from either a traditional Linux CLI environment, or
through the use of intuitive and secure web interfaces. POD’s HPC cluster is ready-to-run with hundreds
of applications pre-installed eliminating much of the complexity of building, managing and scaling
high-performance computing environments. This efficiency and economy of scale saves both capital
and operational costs while ensuring a clear, predictable pricing model. POD’s bare-metal, InfiniBand
on-demand HPC compute cluster is ideal for organizations in manufacturing, biosciences, research, energy,
design and finance—or any organization with high-performance computing needs.

Support by HPC Experts

Penguin Computing has well over a decade in optimizing HPC environments and applications. As a user
of POD, we provide you with free support from our HPC experts who can assist you in running applications,
managing workflows, and getting the best experience out of POD.

PRIVATE CLOUD
Customers who have a requirement for customized cloud computing resources choose Penguin’s Private
Cloud offering. Penguin Computing engineers work with you to design a cluster that fits your workload
and facility requirements. The Penguin HPC Cloud team takes care of installing and configuring your
cluster and will take care of all operational and maintenance tasks using a combination of remote and
on-site resources. We can reserve a portion of our public cloud for you on a monthly or yearly basis, or
we can design and host a specific configuration tailored to meet your needs.

HYBRID CLOUD
Penguin also offers an HPC Hybrid Cloud configuration for those users seeking to utilize the on-demand
offering to augment their internal capacity. Many businesses have in-house clusters that meet their daily
demand. Sometimes new projects or excess demand for short periods requires additional resources,
new hardware, or different networking topologies than the in-house cluster provides. In these instances
Penguin’s HPC on-demand cloud can be configured to handle that excess load. It can be utilized simply
to run your current workload, or you can use it handle jobs requiring InfiniBand or GPU support before
investing in that functionality in-house.

“Penguin’s HPC expertise and knowledge of LS-DYNA

is outstanding. POD is an easy and cost effective
cloud bursting solution.”
